METHOD OF PRODUCING CATALYST FOR VAPOUR CONVERSION OF METHANE-CONTAINING HYDROCARBONS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B01J23/755 B01J37/02 B01J37/03 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of producing a catalyst which is used for converting hydrocarbon material to hydrogen and hydrogen-containing gases. A method is described for producing a catalyst for vapour conversion of methane-containing hydrocarbons based on spinel-containing carrier, distinguished by that, the carrier is obtained by depositing inorganic components from solutions from acid etching vermiculite ore with alkali liquor with subsequent calcination of the obtained residue at temperature which allows for obtaining complex spinel of the type Mg [Al, Fe]₂O₄, where the solutions from acid etching vermiculite ore and the alkali are taken in amounts which provide for content of oxides of magnesium, iron and aluminium in the ready catalyst in mass ratio of 1:0.6:1. The carrier is separated, granulated, dried and calcined, after which nickel is deposited in amount of 6 to 15 wt % in the ready catalyst and calcined again.

EFFECT: wider raw material base for producing a catalyst for vapour conversion of methane-containing hydrocarbons.
